Yeah, I know where you are coming from Nuc. To be honest, the first time I saw that post, I guessed you meant that I was going off topic from the original crux of the post. It only occurred to me afterwards that you might be asking why his sexuality has to be mentioned.

Well.. nowhere near reality for you.. maybe. I think Lanos post would have been just as relevant without knowing the persons sexual orientation.If that's something you like to see.. fine.. I respect that. Can you respect that I don't have any issues with whatever a persons orientation is...but don't need the "label" every time I read about someones accomplishments. Your reality... is not my reality...tyvm.So when you say it's nowhere near reality... uh.. yeah. It is. My reality. I could care less what his preferences in the bedroom are....

"If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans? Maybe he’s not the problem."

I assume you mean that in an iconic way, as in sexual preferences. But the "reality" — since that's suddenly the hot word in this thread — is much broader than that. We hetero's tend to forget or fail to acknowledge the emotional content of homosexual relationships. What goes on "in the bedroom" is really a very small piece of the holistic reality. I can only guess that to be damned for one's physical attraction to another is half as painful as being damned for the emotional attraction.

This isn't so much about who's reality it is as much as it's about the depth and breadth of those realities. I'm just sayin'...

The bedroom is the least of our problems because nobody is there but us. The moment we go outside, the safety of home is gone. The discrimination is palpable. That is what Steve means by the depth and breadth of our realities.
